Going from ipod mini to nano

Silly basic ?? like will my itunes library transfer from my mini to my nano?

"will my itunes library transfer from my mini to my nano?"
If you have the songs in iTunes then your new iPod will load those up. However if the songs are only on the Mini then you would have to return them to your computer, you can't transfer directly from one iPod to another.

  • Need help with transferring from ipod mini to nano!

    I own an iPod mini and just went and bought an iPod nano and am wondering how to transfer the music from my mini onto my nano. This may seem like a dumb question but I'm not finding a way in iTunes to do it. Thanks for help in advance

    IPods are designed to transfer music in a one way fashion. Meaning, iPods can only have music transferred to them via iTunes, not vice versa. So, in your case, where the iPod mini has your music on its memory, you will be unable to transfer the actual music back to the computer. Hopefully, you have the music from the iPod mini stored on your computer or on some flash drive to be able to import the same music to the iPod nano. I am assuming that this is the case, your music being on iTunes, else other implications would have occurred in updating the iPod mini. Put simply, you need to have your music solely on iTunes and transfer from there to the iPod nano. Hopefully this helps.

    Hi Hill,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Some reading material for you from Apple:
    1. iTunes: Moving your iTunes Music folder
    2. Just plug your nano into your Laptop after you have moved everything across from your PC.
    Regards,

  • Can I use AC charger from ipod mini on new nano???

    My son had an ipod mini. He had bought an AC charger for it. I am buying him an ipod nano for his birthday (ipod mini went bad...). Can he use the charger from the mini to the nano???

    Maybe, depends on the charger. It would appear that while older iPods only needed the power pins, newer ones may require the data pins to also be active for charging. Some chargers do not connect the data pins at all.
    But it won't damage the Nano. It will either work fine or do nothing at all.
    Which charger is it?

  • Switching from ipod mini to ipod nano

    I just got a new nano and i had an ipod mini. can i still keep my old itunes and transfer them to the new ipod nano?

    It will be like setting up your iPod mini. You may register the iPod (if you want), but that's basically it. It is very self-explanatory.

  • Updating from iPod mini to iPod nano

    Is there anyway anyone knows that I can trade in my 10 month old iPod mini for an iPod nano, I'm willing to pay the difference. Please contact!!!!

    Your best bet is to sell your mini (try ebay or something) & buy a nano.

  • Moving iTunes Library from iPod mini to new computer (old hard drive dead)

    Hi all, I own a 2nd gen (I believe) iPod mini with all of my music from my iTunes library on it. Last weekend, my computer began freezing/crashing while loading my desktop, and a diagnostic confirmed that the read/write head on my hard drive was bad. I don't currently have the spare cash to send it away to a recovery lab, so I am starting from scratch with a new computer I will be ordering today.
    My question is this--is it going to be possible to transfer the music from my iPod to my new computer? Many of the songs on my iPod are from other sources, during the years that I was not using iTunes, and from what I have read I will only be able to transfer my purchased music. I know there is a way to make my iPod into a hard drive in order to transfer the music to my new computer, but as I said, I cannot even boot up my old machine, and thus cannot access my iTunes library on my HD.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions and advice you may have.

    I've had to do this in the past (4 years ago). Try this page for a list of programs that can help you:

  • Transfer music from iPod mini to iPod with video

    I'm going to be spending a few nights at my friend's house and they plan on giving me their iPod with video. I currently have the iPod mini and I was just wondering if there's a way (in Windows XP) if I can get my music and playlists from my iPod mini to my new iPod with video at my friend's house so I don't have to wait until i can go home and connect it to my PC.

    Actually Problem solved!
    if anyone wants to know the steps here they are
    *make sure your iPod is enabled for hard disk use*
    -on your PC, export the library and any playlists to a flash drive or CD (in this case, I'm using a flash drive)
    -create a new user account in Windows
    -open and setup iTunes
    -connect the iPod that has the music you want
    -go to FILE then IMPORT, and select all your playlist text files along with your library xml file and import
    -when done, connect your NEW iPod and format it
    -then sync the music and there you go! all your songs on a new iPod when you don't have access to your PC!

  • Playing Tracks from iPod Mini throught iTunes

    I have an iPod nano and when i connect it to my laptop i can play music from my iPod through iTunes. However, My Father has an iPod mini and he cant play music from his iPod through iTunes when it is connected to his PC. The Tracks are faded out on the screen and u cant click on them to play them. There is also a strange lock symbol beside the Memory status bar on the bottom of the screen. Has anyone ever seen this before or know what to do if if does appear???
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Cheers Gavin.

    You have to place the iPod in Manual Music Transfer in order to play music on the Ipod through the PC.

  • Sharing from ipod mini to ipod on windows

    Any speedy way of transferring some of my music from the mini into the regular ipod. Not all of it is still in my libraray. Can I get it out of my IPOD music into hers? Please advise.

    After you downloaded itunessetup.exe, did you physically open that file to run the install? If you did, then I recommend uninstalling itunes by going to your start menu, then control panel, then add/remove programs, and selecting itunes AND quicktime. Don't worry about losing your music as it is stored on your hard drive and will not be affected. After that, go to www.apple.com/itunes/download and download itunes. When you click on the link that says "download itunes 7.0.2- Free" it will ask you if you want to run or save this file. You want to save it. After it has finished downloading, it might ask you if you want to run the file you just downloaded. then you can click run, which will start the installer! Hope this helps!

  • Problem with ipod mini and nano hooked on same computer

    Last year I bought a mini and hooked it up to my computer. It works great. So great that I decided to buy a nano recently. The problem is...When I hooked up the nano to the same computer, I was unable to create or add playlists, and Itunes simply took some of my library from the mini and added it to my nano. The software that came with the nano won't install either because I have a previously installed version of Itunes. Anybody with more than one Ipod who can help me with this problem?? Thanks in advance.

    Yeah, I have 2 ipods connected to one PC. Seen this?

  • Can I Use my Ipod Mini and Nano 2gen on same computer?

    I have an Ipod mini and have just purchased an Ipod Nano 2gen. Can I just install the Nano without changing anything that is on my computer for my Mini?
    Thanks for any help.

    You may need to update iTunes to work with the second generation nano; updating iTunes will not erase anything from your library, and it will continue to work with the iPod mini.

  • How to download songs from IPOD mini to a NEW computer

    My current home computer crashed and I had to replace it unexpectedly. Now I want to download my songs from my IPOD to the new computer. Not knowing the computer was going to crash I wasn't able to backup the songs on my IPOD mini. I have over 1000 songs on my IPOD and do not want to have to start over. Is there anyway to transfer my songs from my IPOD to the new computer?

    These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring playlists, ratings, playcounts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…
    Don King Resurrected: Deleted files from hard drive (free user steps – music recovery only)
    MacMuse: Computer Crashed (free user steps – music recovery only)
    Copying music from iPod to computer (a primer on various methods and software)
    Copying Songs from Your iPod to a Mac or PC (resource for 3rd party software)
    iPodRip Software
    PodUtil Software
    XPlay (Software For Music Recovery &/or Cross-Platform Functionality)
    XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
    After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation.
    You need at least three sets of your music:
    -- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
    -- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
    -- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
    Music files on just the iPod and the computer is not considered having any backup. If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer, then create and maintain two external sets.
    Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?

  • Is there a way of moving music from iPod Mini to computer?

    Hi, I've got heaps of tracks on my iPod Mini, that I don't seem to have in my iTunes Library...
    Is there a way to transferring these tracks back onto my computer?
    Thanks!

    You cannot do it using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, if you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get links for third-party methods and utilities that can transfer song files from iPod to computer.
    NOTE:  Songs previously purchased from the iTunes Store can also be re-downloaded on the Purchased screen at no cost.
